On April 7th, World Health Day is celebrated. In 1948, this date was chosen by the World Health Organization to make people aware of the importance of preserving health in order to have a better quality of life. Currently, 63% of all deaths in the world come from non-communicable diseases, mainly cardiovascular, respiratory, cancer and diabetes.
Health is a trend that has already become a reality and the year 2020 further boosted the search for healthy eating as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The concern with what we eat, what we do and how it impacts our physical and mental well-being brought a closer look at how our bodies are connected, demanding a holistic view of us.
Several foods can bring benefits to our health, such as those that improve concentration, relieve stress, act on the immune system or provide a more complete nutritional support for daily needs.
